Seriously?

Painsomnia got me. I’m so annoyed that I can’t really talk to my doctor about this until I see him in June. I see him before this for my Botox treatment on April 4th. But we don’t have the time to lay it on the line and really go through it all. Maybe I should bottom line everything in a post, even for myself. I have a couple of options, as I see it.

I can douse myself with sleeping pills, take my breakthrough pills, sacrifice my steadiness for a bit of loopiness, see if that helps.

Or I can call his nurse, who is kind of brusque and see what she advises.

Suck it up and quit complaining

Whine and complain until I’m friendless and on my own.

I don’t like number four very much, and I’m not very good at holding my tongue, so three is out. I think I will start with one, and progress to two. I took a breakthrough dose of my pain meds and it did nothing, since I am allowed two I will try another, it’s been over three hours! I suspect the nurse would suggest the breakthrough meds first, anyway.

My back hurts so much I can’t sleep. I just want to cry. I don’t even know what to do to make it stop. I keep thinking heat, but that makes me wince. I can’t even be still.

Since sleep is useless, I’m going to work on a pain inventory page for the blog. I think it will help.

I hope sleep is not eluding you, fellow zebras! (Respecting time zone differences of course!) 😘
